Pure white Sedum blooms on chartreuse #FantasticFoliage. Definitely a look you either love or hate but it brightens up a tough part of my garden to keep color going in! #gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport 🌱

I of course couldn't let today go by without saying Happy Star Trek Day to everyone. 🥰 Always remember rule of acquisition number #75, Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum. 🖖🏻✨

Can we put cheese on it and eat it? #DigiBlogChat

Artists are such a joyful bunch!

A9 Cars—at least if you don’t drive them like you’re auditioning for a Fast & Furious sequel. #DigiBlogChat

A7. It would be nice not feeling like you constantly have to upgrade to keep up with the joneses. #digiblogchat

A great photo or a great dog, if you ask me.

Q1. How would you explain planned obsolescence to a friend? #DigiBlogChat

Can pottery plan this sort of future use? #obsolesence #DigiBlogChat

A1 Planned obsolescence is when products are designed with an expiration date, like milk. Only instead of going sour, your phone just mysteriously stops charging. #DigiBlogChat

A5. Many products become unfashionable, even if they still work. But if you keep them long enough, sometimes they’re back in fashion again, and are vintage! #DigiBlogChat

A2. Probably my #Apple iPhone was the last gadget I had to replace. The newer one is still working, though. #DigiBlogChat

Hello, Randy! Are we ready for fall yet? #DigiBlogChat

Potential for at least one side convo covering #unplanned obsolescence #DigiBlogChat

Felt like Spring today, walking iris is out and much warmer. Burning off locally and the smell of smoke in the air tonight is cloying. #spring #BloomScolling #flower

#NowSpinning Martinů’s Concerto da Camera, H285 for solo violin, piano, timpani, percussion and string orchestra. This is another work that just screams Martinů from the very start.

Just like that, we are one week into September!

Do you do journalling? It's quite fun once you get over the thought that it's defacing a page meant for writing. Happy September 😊
